    Abstract:
    The correlation between real-world clinical decisions and adherence to published treatment algorithms for problem bleeding episodes in patients with severe hemophilia and inhibitors and the resultant impact on clinical outcomes were assessed. Nine cases documenting treatment for problem bleeding episodes in patients with severe hemophilia and inhibitors were retrospectively reviewed. Adherence to treatment algorithms was rated on a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being no adherence and 5 being very high adherence. Adherence ratings >3 were assigned to 7 cases in which high adherence was associated with ≤4 days to achieve hemostatic control; hospitalization for ≤7 days was noted in 6 of these cases. In cases rated ≤3 (n = 2), time to hemostatic control ranged from 5 to 8 days and hospitalization duration ranged from 10 to 16 days. These findings suggest that adherence to treatment algorithms may be beneficial in treating problem bleeding events in patients with hemophilia and inhibitors.
